Contributing to the Spread of Low-Carbon and Eco-Friendly Lifestyles

[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-ho Kim] Woori Financial Group announced on the 16th that it will conduct climate crisis response education for youth called "Uri-ga Green (GREEN) Play School" to raise awareness of climate change issues, practice low-carbon and eco-friendly living, and contribute to solving environmental problems.

"Uri-ga Green (GREEN) Play School" is an educational program designed to help participants learn the causes and solutions of environmental problems through direct participation, including environmental education, experiential plays showing biological responses to climate change, and eco-friendly cooking classes that explore the carbon footprint in the food we eat.

Woori Financial Group developed and operates this program in collaboration with the environmental NGO "Pureun Asia." Due to COVID-19, all educational sessions are conducted online via video conferencing systems.

For the education program, Woori Financial selected educational institutions such as elementary schools, middle schools, local children's centers, and youth cultural centers in early August. From this month until the end of next month, a total of 16 sessions will be held, educating approximately 500 youths.

Son Tae-seung, Chairman of Woori Financial, stated, "Through this education, I hope our youth realize the importance of practicing low-carbon and eco-friendly living and grow into future environmental leaders who solve environmental problems." He added, "Going forward, Woori Financial Group will sincerely fulfill its environmental and social responsibilities and roles by practicing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management."
